Re:Has Physics Gotten Something Really Important Really Wrong? by Koshkin on Saturday July 09, 2016 @09:15PM (#12064119)
"Physics is philosophy with integrals." -- Well, too bad for physics... But where to look for guidance? Philosophy tries to answer questions that do not have answers; theology studies that which does not exist. What a waste of time. Even Einstein, how many years did he spend trying to understand the meaning of these philosophical "integrals", to no avail? Even his mind was powerless trying to come up with an interpretation of the quantum mechanical theory that would make sense. Should we accept this as an indication that there are limits to our ability to understand, just as there are limits to what we can achieve physically?

That's a quintessential philosophical question.

A philosophical assertion about what should be valued, if ever there was one.
